Humblebird's Lost Cities Generator

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Amaze your friends and yourself with stories of once-mighty civilizations and how they fell, then tell your own stories as you pick through their ruins.

This generator provides you with ten different traits, informing important aspects of the city: what life was like in the city, what the buildings looked like, what strange features made it remarkable, what caused the city to be lost, and what remains of it. Traits are conceptual enough to work in any setting, but evocative enough to suggest a story by themselves.

Though the focus is on mythic lost cities, the taxonomy in the generator can also be useful for thinking about living cities. Use it to draw contrasts and parallels between various cities in your setting!


Wealthy to begin with, they became even wealthier when they discovered how to grow seed gems into animate crystal structures. Between their own buildings being alive and their vast array of imported gadgets, they were able to devote most of their energy to selecting and cutting the perfect seed gems.

Mining too greedily beneath their city, eventually the whole thing collapsed into a dangerous jumble of driverless machines and flailing crystal buildings. Here and there it's rumored that nearly finished crystal walkers lay inert within the ruins, waiting for someone to activate them, and of course countless seed gems were lost as well.


Features:

  • Internal navigation links

  • Fast 2d6 rolling

  • Descriptions for all 116 traits, separate from tables

  • System agnostic and setting flexible

  • "PG" version with some slightly naughty language scrubbed is now available

The latest update was supposed to add PDF bookmarks, however neither 1.1.1 nor 1.1.1pg (not sure which one is newer) seems to have any. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

Whoops! You are correct that it does not have bookmarks, what was actually added was internal navigation links (click on a table header to be taken to the description page, and on a section header to be taken back to the tables).

Sorry for the confusion, I thought they were synonymous when I wrote the update note!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
